EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Hulton Archive takes us back in time to Britain circa 1885, offering a glimpse into the living conditions of a common lodging house. The image showcases a crowded dormitory-style bedroom filled with rows of simple beds, each marked with the word "Stolen" on their bedsheets as a deterrent against theft. The composition captures the essence of communal living during this era, where men were confined to sharing sleeping quarters in these modest accommodations. The room is dimly lit, creating an atmosphere that exudes both weariness and resilience. Amongst the sea of beds, we notice various objects scattered around - buckets for personal use or cleaning purposes. These items serve as reminders of daily life within these lodgings and highlight the limited personal space available to its occupants. The photographer's choice to present this scene in black and white adds depth and texture to every detail captured. It transports us back in time, allowing us to reflect on societal norms and challenges faced by those residing in such establishments during this period. This thought-provoking print serves as a historical document shedding light on social institutions between 1850-1919. Its powerful imagery invites viewers to contemplate not only past living conditions but also broader themes surrounding poverty, community dynamics, and survival strategies employed by marginalized individuals at that time.
